Hey,

Well, it seems that my success report was a little thoughtless.
The results I get with the card are totally inconclusive. Sometimes
the HCI device is registered successfully, and sometimes it's not. The
funny thing that I can't find any obvious reason why it works one
time, and why not the other time.
If it works I get the following log messages:

However if the registration of the HCI device fails, I only get this:

Another thing is that if I go through a suspend/resume cycle, then
the HCI doesn't work afterwards, even though the HCI was successfully
registered before the suspension of the system. Of course this may
also be a bug/deficiency of the pm-utils package, that Slackware makes
use of.
Anyway, the symptom of this is that any commands I pass to the HCI
reach a time out. (hciconfig hci0 reset for example.)
I assigned the oxsemi16c950 wakeup quirk to this card also, as it is
supposed to be oxsemi16c950 based. This doesn't seem to have much of
an impact on whether the card is works or not.

Please give me some ideas on how I could determine what causes this
inconclusive behaviour.
Thanks!
Best regards,
Janos
